<h1>How to set up an Event Reaper Service</h1>
<ul>
    <li>Log on to the server where the service must run (if not local)</li>
    <li>Install(MSI)/copy the service to the local drive (default C:\Program Files\Hen IT\Event Scavenger\Service 5.0)</li>
    <li>Open a command (cmd.exe) with with '<b>Run as Administrator</b>'</li>
    <li>Change directory to the path where the service (<b>EventReaper.exe</b>) file is located</li>
    <li>Run the 'install' command (e.g):
        <blockquote>
            <b>EventReaper.exe</b> -install "Harbinger" "Event Reaper - Harbinger"
        </blockquote>
        This will install a new instance of the service named 'Harbinger'
    </li>
    <li>Edit the EventReaper.exe.config file and set <b>database details</b> and optionally the collector name e.g.
        <blockquote>
        	&lt;setting name="<b>CollectorName</b>" serializeAs="String"&gt;<br />
		    &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;value&gt;Harbinger&lt;/value&gt;<br />
	        &lt;/setting&gt;
        </blockquote>
    </li>
    <li>Remember to restart service(s) after the config file has been updated</li>
    <li>Run the Event Scavenger Admin tool and add the new Reaper instance details</li>
    <li><hr /></li>
    <li>To uninstall service/instance use the -uninstall command e.g.
        <blockquote>
            <b>EventReaper.exe</b> -uninstall "Harbinger"
        </blockquote>
    </li>
</ul>
